    I wasn't aware that Lucid determined what is classified as a drug by the FDA and DEA. I must not be in the loop. I hope you noticed the caveat about "modified".


    But which of the US brands have you tried to claim it's BS? I've had both.

    Did you even read the quote from the pres. of Lucid?
    If...

    I never said BS, just asking a question and pointing out the wording. Yes, I've had it before and it's nothing like what I had in Europe.

    Unless you've had it since May of this year and either the Lucid or Kubler brand then you had the fake US version of the stuff. It's always been available in the States in a "modified" version without the wormwood.

    I think I may have in fact had the fake stuff you mentioned. I don't recall the brand but after reading about it much more on the internet, can only guess. It was night and day different and it wasn't either of the two recent brands you posted....soooo

    What's the cost per bottle roughly? I'm gonna ask my buddy in Jersey to send me a bottle.

    $50 for Lucid, on average.

    I ended up in a jail in Irving TX the last time I drank this stuff. You don't want to wake up in Irving with a head 10 times bigger than your body, the police have no shame when it comes to torturing your hangover. The best part about this is that Irving at the time was dry.

    Beats a jail in Okinowa!
    Maybe a bit better than jail in Jacksonville, N.C.
    Boy, I sure don't miss lost nights any more.
    Or waking up with a fat girl.
    And wondering why your car has gunshot holes..........:eek:

    I bought some of this (Lucid) the other day. It's not bad, tastes like an after-dinner drink to me. The buzz, for me, seemed as normal as any other 120 proof liquor.
